How to Care for Your Louboutins

French fashion designer Christian Louboutin did not create his infamous red-soled shoes for them to stay in your closet. They're too good for that. They're probably too good for you.

Personally, as a shoe repair store in South Florida, we love the shoe. We love its passion-red sole, its skyscraper length, and even the pain that comes along with wearing a pair.

Beauty is pain. The spikes may appear to be on the outside of the shoe - but the pain is all internal. Ladies, you'll think the spikes were made to go on the inside once you stand around in these for an hour.

Why care for Louboutins in the first place?

I mean you could just buy another one.

If you're reading this post, then chances are you own at least one pair of Louboutins. But as an educated consumer looking to maximize your wardrobe, you probably want to make the most of your money and time.

The number one reason you should care for these expensive shoes is because they are expensive - duh!!

According to Wikipedia, "Louboutins can sell from $495 and up, with crystal-encrusted pairs costing up to $6,000."

When possible, we like to save our readers money. We also like giving them greater options when it comes to their wardrobe. We hate to see a good shoe be relegated to a dark shoe-box in a dusty closet somewhere - not that we're calling your closet dusty.

Here are the top 3 ways to care for your Louboutins. (Some professional help is required).

Option # 1: Replace the tips

A night of dancing and fun around Miami Beach will certainly put undue stress on the main pressure point of the shoe. High heels were made to be broken; when you start talking about 4, 5, 6, inch heels, you can almost guarantee that the tip will crack.

For this reason pins, taps, dowels, and heel tips were invented. There's no reason to replace the whole shoe if heel tip replacements are all you need.

^ This Prada heel tip is a perfect example of a do-it-yourself project that can put your shoes back into circulation. You can shop heel tips here and install them yourself.

If you're not feeling up for it bring them to a local cobbler that knows how to work with iconic shoe brands.

Option # 2:Refinish The Sole

A scuffed or scratched sole ruins the whole point of wearing Louboutins. Wear and tear on a $1000+ pair of shoes is simply unacceptable, especially when that beautiful red lacquer has been compromised.

Refinishing such an iconic sole isn't easy as it requires matching materials. However, rest assured that we have the tools in-house to be able to facilitate such a delicate operation.

Red sole repair is now available at this location:

When we return your shoes, you will be tempted to think that they are a brand new pair!

Option # 3: Shine On

The third option is to shine the shoes yourself.

For example, in this picture, we see a black calfskin shoe which can easily be polished with a black creme. This creme will bring out the shine and natural patina of the black leather. For an amazing list of products check out our Shoe Polish and Cremesection.
